Concepts in quantum computing have been around for over 30 years, but only recently have quantum scientists started releasing easy to use open source-based tooling to make this discipline approachable to developers. Don’t be fooled by hype. There are still physical limitations to actually keeping a machine in a quantum state, such as gate error rates, so it’s important that developers new to quantum understand where they can meaningfully start contributing.
